Article Synopsis
- This article explores the stability of fullerene colloids in methyl alcohol, focusing on how electrolytes affect coagulation.
- The experiments involved creating alcosols with a fullerene concentration of 4 × 10 M and examining their properties, showing aggregates of about 300 nm with a negative electrokinetic potential.
- Findings indicate that while 1:1 electrolytes like NaClO have negatively charged colloidal species, certain metal ions can cause a temporary positive charge, demonstrating the complex interactions in these systems.
Towards better understanding of C60 organosols.

It is of common knowledge that fullerenes form colloids in polar solvents. However, the coagulation via electrolytes and the origin of the negative charge of species are still unexplored. Using a 'radical scavenger' and electrospray ionization spectroscopy (ESI), we proved the formation of ion-radical C60˙(-) and its (probable) transformation into C60(2-) or (C60)2(2-).
